Thrilled to share our latest work, just published in @nature.com ⬇
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We discovered that PARP inhibitors 💊 trigger histone eviction from the chromatin and this creates a hidden vulnerability in PARPi resistant tumors.

NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance - Nature

PARP inhibitor treatment triggers histone release from the chromatin in cancer cells; consequently, targeting the histone chaperone NASP renders cells vulnerable to PARP inhibition.
